West also debuted a new track called "Water" during the performance.
"We are water / Clean us like the rain in spring / Take the chlorine out of conversation," the Chicago native sang.
Some people took to Twitter to express that they were thoroughly impressed with Kanye West's Easter church service at Coachella and some expressed that they weren't impressed at all.
HBO Insecure actress Nathasha Rothwell tweeted, "Yea, no. I REFUSE to support a man who proudly supports a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, anti-Semitic president who subsidized his career just because he's selling redemption dressed up in church clothes. GTFOH."
Some people also went as far as alleging that Kanye West is currently running a "cult." Take a look at the mixed reactions below.
